Reaction

What is a reaction paper?
Reaction or response papers are designed so that you'll consider carefully what you think or feel about something you've read or seen.

Instructions

Read or view whatever you've been asked to respond to read or view. While reading or viewing think about the following questions: • How do you feel about what you are reading (seeing)? • With what do you agree or disagree? • Can you identify with the situation? • What would be the best way to evaluate what you read or see?

Pre-writing for Your Reaction Paper

Keeping your responses to these questions in mind, complete as many statements as possible about what you read or saw.

1. I think that ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2. I see that ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

3. I feel that ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

4. It seems that ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The above statements become your rough draft. Now it needs to be organized. Your paper should have: • An introduction (no more than two paragraphs), • A body, and • A conclusion.

I. Introduction

• Sentence 1 should include pertinent information such as author, title, and publication or presenter, title, and place. • Sentence 2, 3, and 4 should give a summary or overview. • Sentence 5 should be your thesis (i.e., you agree, disagree, identify with, or evaluate)

NOTE: A thesis statement is an assertion, not a statement of fact. A thesis should take a stand, contain one main point, and be sufficiently specific and narrow. NON-EXAMPLE: Students write many papers in college courses. EXAMPLE: Students write papers in college to advance their knowledge of certain subjects.

II. Body

• The body should contain paragraphs that provide support for your thesis. • Each paragraph should contain one idea. • The topic sentence of each paragraph should support the thesis. • The final sentence of each paragraph should lead into the next paragraph.

III. Conclusion

The conclusion can be: • A restatement of what you said in your paper, • A comment that focuses your overall reaction, or • A prediction of the effects about your topic.

Note: your conclusion should include no new information.…...

...REACTION PAPER
“Tsunami”
Horrifying! Shocking! Great! Alarming! These are the things I can say about the movie.
I had watched so many documentary movies about this matter. At first, I thought this film will be kind boring. But I was proved amiss.
As I keep looking on the scenes I get started to like it. Its drama really melts my heart. The adventure is very intense. It’s like watching a horror movie but in fact it is not. You get shouted, shocked, and amazed in every big scene, like when a big cargo ship stuck on the bridge and the man is trying to evade the falling cargo containers from that. Luckily he survived to that enormous challenge. The movie ends with the scene of Hyundai in ruins, but in an atmosphere of hope.
Sometimes we need to follow our instincts. We must take a perfect action in making decisions in life. Like of what had happened to the City of Hyundai, many people killed, streets, bridges and buildings were vanished away by the tsunami in just seconds. We must also take salute to those people who are willing to offer their life for the sake of others.
I desire that this movie will inform our government. They should construct strong policies concerning about our environment. May they shall take active actions in accomplishing better devices that will greatly help us in warning millions of people if ever there would be some instances that this kind of tragedy will happen to our loving country. Because nobody know when the nature will take revenge......

...REACTION: (Paget’s Disease)
This article entitled “A Tour Around Paget’s Disease of Bone” basically talks about everything you need to know about this certain disease. First, it talks about the origin of this disease and who discovered it. According to this article, it is discovered by Sir James Paget and that the first recorded evidence of this disease happened about 1000BC and it is the second leading skeletal disorder affecting the aging population that time. It is delightful to know the etymology of this disease and who discovered it because it gives us more knowledge about the disease. Second, it talks about the pathophysiology of the disease, its diagnostic evaluation and the clinical manifestations of the disease. These are important to know for us to able to assess the patient very well in order for us to give the appropriate nursing interventions for the patient and for us to establish a proper and efficient nursing care plan for the patient. Third, it mentioned the causative microorganisms that cause the disease. This is also important to know especially for the doctors for them to be able to evaluate the disease better and for them give the appropriate medical interventions for their patients. With this, they would be able to provide the proper medications their patients’ need that would react effectively on a certain microorganism. Lastly, it talks about the different kinds of treatment the patient will undergo or the pharmacological therapy that the patient...

...A REACTION: EXAMINATION of WITNESSES
In the study of law, learning theories inside the four walls of our classroom is a great foundation to start understanding our laws. However, the knowledge we have would be more appreciated and internalized upon experiencing the real application of these laws in the real world. Remedial law, is indeed, one of the subjects that we would appreciate more by letting us immerse into the courtrooms and be able to observe firsthand how the procedural rules of court are actually carried out. In line with this, last March 14 we went to the Regional Trial Court to observe how the presentation and examination of the witnesses are conducted.
CIVIL CASES
For the civil cases, we went to RTC - branch 9, under Judge Alexander Acosta.

...Reaction Paper: ‘The Interlude’
The narrative ‘The Interlude’ by Michael Anthony of Trinidad is an interesting and very descriptive writing. It sparks its readers desire to know what follows next with the troubled characters Willis the Tiger and Little John. The more I read, the more I was intrigued to know what would happen to Willis for returning to San Fernando after having been sentenced to two years in jail for fatally injuring Cyril and leaving him cripple. I have personally never had an experience or witnessed a scenario like this but reading along I felt involved in the street and among the crowd witnessing a chaos about to unravel before my eyes. Indeed, when tragic events happen in a community and someone is convicted for a devious crime, the community will remember the criminal and brand and impression of him or her. Convicted persons are not always or usually welcome into their communities due to the stigma that has been created about them. In this narrative, the people of the town of San Fernando had definitely not forgotten ‘The Tiger’ who had them at bay when he was part of the desperado gang. He had now returned and was confronted by Little John who was raged at Willis for having fatally injured Cyril and left him cripple. Strong emotion and feelings of anger and revenge by Little John are described in page four of the narrative “Tiger!” he shouted as if ten lions were awake in him. Willis, who was once the feared tiger of the town for his vicious act of......

...How to Write a Reaction Paper or Reader Response.
In the class BIOL449 you will be asked to write a personal reaction to a variety of materials (journals, videos etc.) It is important that you learn to write a personal reaction well. Blow is an introduction how to write good reactions. Following the instructions below will result in excellent assessments.
Critical reading:
"A reader response asks the reader [you] to examine, explain and defend her/his personal reaction to a reading. You will be asked to explore why you like or dislike the reading, explain whether you agree or disagree with the author, identify the reading's purpose, and critique the text. There is no right or wrong answer to a reader response. Nonetheless, it is important that you demonstrate an understanding of the reading and clearly explain and support your reactions. "
DO NOT use the standard high school-level approach of just writing: "I liked this book (or article or document or movie) because it is so cool and the ending made me feel happy," or "I hated it because it was stupid, and had nothing at all to do with my life, and was too negative and boring." In writing a response you may assume the reader has already read the text. Thus, do NOT summarize the contents of the text at length. Instead, take a systematic, analytical approach to the text.
When writing a reader response, write as an educated adult, addressing other adults or fellow scholars. As a beginning scholar, if you......

...Enzyme Lab
INTRODUCTION: What would happen to your cells if they made a poisonous chemical? You might think that they would die. In fact, your cells are always making poisonous chemicals. They do not die because your cells use enzymes to break down these poisonous chemicals into harmless substances. Enzymes are proteins that speed up the rate of reactions that would otherwise happen more slowly. The enzyme is not altered by the reaction. You have hundreds of different enzymes in each of your cells.
Each of these enzymes is responsible for one particular reaction that occurs in the cell. In this lab, you will study an enzyme that is found in the cells of many living tissues. The name of the enzyme is catalase (KAT-uh-LAYSS); it speeds up a reaction which breaks down hydrogen peroxide, a toxic chemical, into 2 harmless substances--water and oxygen.
The reaction is: 2 H2O2 ----> 2 H2O + O2
This reaction is important to cells because hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is produced as a byproduct of many normal cellular reactions. If the cells did not break down the hydrogen peroxide, they would be poisoned and die. In this lab, you will study the catalase found in liver cells. You will be using chicken or beef liver. It might seem strange to use dead cells to study the function of enzymes. This is possible because when a cell dies, the enzymes remain intact and active for several weeks, as long as the tissue is kept refrigerated.

2. It is imperative that the document examiner and handwriting expert be contacted as soon as you realize the need or see a potential benefit.
Handwriting analysis could help every individual to look after their personal and important papers. Business people just for example, must have to know when, where, why and to whom will your signs and writings be given. Handwriting experts on the other hand studied very carefully and specifically single move or attachments on the original one to detect if the documents were forged. These instances prove that every individual is in need of basic knowledge about handwriting analysis. And these were discussed accurately in this chapter.

...Laboratory Exercise Two
Reaction Enthalpies for Acid – Base Neutralization Reactions
Goals 1. To measure the amount of heat released in acid-base neutralization reactions. 2. To determine the molar enthalpy change for each acid-base neutralization reaction. 3. To validate Hess’s Law using the experimental results. Background Information Acids and bases react together to produce a salt and water as shown in the following reaction. HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq)  NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) This type of reaction is called a neutralization reaction. When a neutralization reaction occurs, heat (q) is released to the surroundings, and the temperature of the surroundings rises. In aqueous acid-base neutralization reactions the surroundings are the solution itself, which is mainly composed of water. The amount of heat released by the reaction can be determined by measuring the temperature change of the solution during the reaction. At constant pressure, the heat released by a reaction is the reaction enthalpy (∆Hr). The units for reaction enthalpies are kJ mol-1; in reactions that don’t have a 1-to-1 ratio of all reactants and products, we need to specify per mol of which species. In this experiment, the heat released by each reaction will be used to determine the reaction enthalpy for each chemical reaction per mole of acid reacted. (Note that this may or may not be the same thing as “per mole of acid added;” you will need to think about limiting reagents.) During the experiments the temperature......

...REACTION PAPER
THE MEN WHO CRASHED THE WORLD
I. SUMMARY
THE FINANCIAL AND stock market meltdown of September-October 2008 is unlike anything that the vast majority of us have seen in our lifetimes. Americans would have to be old enough to remember 1929 and the onset of the Great Depression to have seen a crisis of this magnitude. People in Japan, it’s true, know all about the “lost decade” after the late 1980s bank crashes – but the late situation is a disaster on a global scale. Great Depression is actually, the outcome of this crisis and is unpredictable. Among other differences, the 1929 stock market crash and subsequent credit crisis led to the Great Depression of the 1930s in part because governments responded with “tight money” policies until too late, an act of suicide which central banks and governments today definitely will not repeat. Quite the contrary, extremely energetic state interventions in Europe and the USA – very much against the recent ideological free-market “run of play” – have halted the fears of a total global banking collapse and the short-term stock market panic.
It’s indeed instructive how quickly the entire ideology of “unleashing the free market” and financial deregulation could be thrown aside in order to rescue giant banks that are “too big to fail.” The U.S. Treasury will not only be purchasing (at above-market rates) the “toxic assets” held by these institutions, but pumping hundreds of billions more into them by buying “preferred......

...those are the extremes. Some reactions fall somewhere between a fight or flight response.
One possible reaction to conflict is aggression, which would be the “fight” reaction. This commonly presents itself during emotional conflicts, where the aggressor believes wholeheartedly that they are right and nothing the other person says makes any difference. Even in less emotional conflicts, an aggressive person may feel entitled to have things their way and refuse to compromise. This type of reaction rarely ends in a way that leaves both parties happy.
The “flight” reaction refers to an extremely passive stance during conflict. The phrase “passive reaction” is almost an oxymoron. Someone who is very passive most likely won’t have much of a reaction at all. This can also be referred to as avoidance, since in essence, a passive person will most likely choose to avoid conflict at all cost. Unfortunately this reaction also rarely ends in compromise, with the passive person simply giving in without asserting any of their own needs.
From my experience, the most common reaction to conflict is a passive-aggressive response. An example of this type of response would be discussing an issue with a coworker and ultimately agreeing with whatever they say rather than causing an argument, but talking to anyone else about how unfair it is behind their back. Wikipedia defines this type of reaction as:
“Passive-aggressive......

“Chemical Reaction and the PH Scale”
Chemical reactions are the heart of chemistry. People have always known that they exist. The Ancient Greeks were the firsts to speculate on the composition of matter. They thought that it was possible that individual particles made up matter. As you might imagine, it's useful to be able to measure the acidity of solutions. Scientists have come up with the pH scale for determining the concentration of acid in a solution so we can distinguish between solutions with varying acidity.
A Chemical reaction is the outcome of two or more elements together results in the formation of a chemical bond between atoms and compound. Chemicals react together due to participating atoms. The reason why atoms react with each other is to reach a state in which their valence shell is filled. Reactions occur at different speeds, they have different rates of reaction. There are some things that must be considered in a chemical reaction. There are a few things that decide the course and speed of the reaction. One thing about chemical reaction is that, there is now known that there are three types of chemical reactions. They are classified into three types: exoergic (exothermic), endoergic (endothermic), and aergic (athermic). In these cases, energy is supplied, but the different types of reactions initiate the energy differently. First of all, Exoergic, or exothermic, reactions release energy during the reaction.

...Reaction Paper
The documentary “China’s Water Challenges” is about the problems on water that China facing now.
The problems they had is that they had more water, less water, dirty water and mud water. The main location of this problem is on the Yellow river. When it rains, the flow on the yellow river is turbulent that causes severe floods on the cities beside the river. When it is now raining, the river has less water and more sediments caused by the erosion of the soil. Drought was also a problem of China because some provinces do not rain often. Wastewater management causes problem to the community as it produces foul smell and contaminate the potable water of the city.
China’s government, for me, has done a great job to solve these problems especially on the Yellow river. They relocate the people living on the side of the river to higher places to prevent damages from floods cause by the river. They also formed a committee that will monitor the condition of the whole river. They encourage people to build terraces and plant trees beside the river to prevent soil erosion. Their government is concerned to the well-being of the community. They really did what they are meant to do.
The way they deal with the problem is something that we should learn from. We should take the China’s government as an example to take on our problem in water sources here in our country. We should work together to prevent and completely solve our problems here....

The Rate of Reactions
Abqari Afandi
Grade 10
October 6th 2014
Purpose:
To investigate the relationship between the temperatures of Hydrochloric acid with the duration of Magnesium ribbon to dissolve in the acid.
Procedure:
1- Prepare four 400ml beaker: one for the hot bath, one for the room temperature, one for ice water bath and one for super hot bath. Fill all beakers half-full. Put one on a hot plate; the temperature of the water on the hot plate should not exceed 60C. Put another one on a hot plate; the temperature of water should not exceed 80C. Control the temperature of both hot plates to keep the temperature of water stays at 60C and 80C.
2- Using a graduated cylinder, add 20ml of 1M hydrochloric acid to each of the two test tubes, (all tubes should be the same size)
3- Place one test tube in the room temperature water, one test tube in the hot water bath, one in the ice water bath, and one in the super hot bath; allow the tubes to sit for approximately 5 minutes to reach thermal equilibrium.
4- Obtain a strip of magnesium ribbon (~16cm). Using scissors cut the ribbon into 4.0 strips. Be as precise as possible.
5- Wrap a piece of copper wire around a pencil to make a small ‘cage’ into which the magnesium ribbon will be inserted. The other end of the wire should be long enough so that the wire can hang over the side of the test tube with the cage submerged beneath the liquid level in the test tube.
6- Measure......

...Practical 12 : Rate Of Reaction
Name : AFNAN BIN ABDUL RAHMAN
Class : M11J
Research Question : How does the reaction between Zinc metal and 0.1M of Hydrochloric Acid using different sizes of Zinc metal (Powdered Zinc, Shredded Zinc strip and Zinc strips) can affect the volume of Hydrogen gas produced at the end of the experiment (after 10 minutes) under same temperature which is room temperature?
Variables :
Manipulated : Different sizes of Zinc Metal
Responding : Volume of Hydrogen Gas produced after 10 minutes.
Constant :
Constant | Method to control | Possible Effect(s) |
Concentration of Hydrochloric Acid | The concentration of Hydrochloric Acid was kept constant to be used in both experiments which is 0.1 Mole. | The difference in concentration might alter the results as the rate of reaction will also differ since the effective collision will occur more when the concentration increases. |
Time taken for the reaction to occur | The period of reaction for each reaction was kept constant which is 10 minutes for each experiments. | Longer period of time will increase the possibilities of effective collision between the molecules and alter the final result. |
Temperature of surrounding | Both experiments were conducted in a lab with room temperature. | The difference in temperature might cause the difference in kinetic energy of the molecules and will disturb the result of the rate of reaction between Zinc and Hydrochloric Acid. |
